Freight forwarders, freight agencies and carriers have to file AMS for processing shipments coming into the US. Each day we could see every business handling different types of documents, Automated Manifest system (AMS) is an electronic system that records for transferring and verifying cargo data. Widely used by Transporters to record the arrival and release information in transference from one shipment supplier to another.

Forwarders submit customs entry lodgment before the ship arrives in port, from information collected from the ocean manifest. With this software customs officials can easily identify threats, allow non-threatening shipments to pass through uninhibited. In most cases, with accurate AMS data, your cargo won’t warrant examination and can be released immediately.
